My other posts dont take their other business ventures into consideration, read those if you haven't already.

Just read them. My point still stands.

If the question is about relevance, their other business ventures are relevant (sorry) to this discussion. The entire purpose of these ventures is to increase the relevance of Nintendo's brand and IP.

Your question asked if selling less hardware and more hardware, would they be declining in relevance. Yes. There are less people buying the same product. If the Switch sells 30m units, but 20m copies of MK8, that is bad because it's the same people buying every other Nintendo franchise. It's relevant to THEM, but not in general. The more overlap there is between franchise audiences, the less relevant the platform as a whole is.

A huge decline to 30 would of course be considered losing relevance, that would be like a 60% decline.

I was talking about a small decline, say 10-20%, would a drop to 65-70 million from 80 million be considered declining in relevance if most of their franchises see growth?
